	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2015 answer text Whilst we cannot interfere in the investigation or judicial processes in that country, we will also consider making appropriate representations to the local authorities if there are concerns that the investigation is not carried out in line with local procedures; if there are justified complaints about discrimination against the person who has died or their family; or where we judge that a local delay or decisions creates significant distress for the bereaved. Details of the support we offer to all British victims of crimes overseas are set out in our public statement: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/317474/FCO_Brits_Abroad_2014.pdf The investigation of crimes overseas are the responsibility of the country in which they occurred. We cannot interfere in investigations overseas and may be considered a third party by some countries and therefore not entitled to updates on the investigation or court process. We recommend that families engage a local lawyer who can make efforts to ensure that local standards are met and can seek updates from the local authorities and courts. We do though retain close interest in cases, and seek updates where we are able to. We can also formally note our interest in an investigation, in particular if a British National is murdered or dies in suspicious circumstances. answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 07/09/2015 13:47:45 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2015 answer text Turkey is a key security partner for the UK which has long played an important role in the Global Coalition’s efforts to defeat ISIL. It is a founding member of the Coalition, and a critical partner in restricting the flow of foreign fighters and finance to ISIL across its borders with Syria and Iraq. Its strong support to the Syrian moderate opposition, including through the US-led Train and Equip Programme, helps bolster this critical ground force in its struggle against ISIL. More recently, we welcome Turkey joining the Coalition airstrikes against ISIL in Syria, as well as the opening of Incirlik airbase to Coalition forces. This is having a real military impact, drastically reducing the flight times to reach targets in Syria. Furthermore, Turkey is playing a key role in the humanitarian effort. It hosts more than 2 million refugees fleeing from Syria and Iraq, and is facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid across the border. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 11/09/2015 12:30:33 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

As we were unable to clarify whether export licence criteria was being met, we took the decision to suspend this small number of export licences if there was a resumption of significant hostilities.</p><p>We monitored the situation closely and assessed that the resumption of hostilities when Hamas later broke the ceasefire was not enough to warrant a suspension.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 05/09/2014 14:11:12 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

Five forces have to date provided some initial information for the months of April and May in relation to the age, gender and ethnicity of such individuals held in police custody and whether restraint was used.</p><p>The Government is clear that any use of restraint must be lawful, proportionate and necessary in all circumstances. All front line officers must pass personal safety training annually. If they do not pass the training, they are not authorised to use restraint techniques. We strongly recommend that forces follow the National Personal Safety Manual published by the Association of Chief Police Officers. The police must be able to use force to protect the public, vulnerable people and themselves. It is for police to determine when the use of restraint is necessary. Local oversight of the use of restraint should enable forces to understand when and how they are using force and in what situations.</p><p>The use of force by the police needs to be transparent and open to scrutiny. At the Black Mental Health and Home Office Summit on 23 October, the Home Secretary announced that the national policing lead, Chief Constable David Shaw will conduct an in-depth review of the publication of Taser data and other use of force by police officers. This will present options for publishing the data on how police officers are deploying these sensitive powers, who they are being used on and what the outcome was.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 07/07/2015 15:37:08 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning previous answer version 10710 answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
